Helping Wal-Mart, Sort Of
Just one week following Andrew Young resigned from the Working Families for Wal-Mart steering committee for making inflammatory remarks, Wal-mart distanced itself from Cain. In an August 22, 2006, Townhall.com column, Herman Cain called Democratic presidential hopefuls and Wal-Mart critics "Hezbocrats, a roaming band of militant guerrillas." He added, "Hezbocrats, armed with nothing more than Katyusha-grade class warfare rhetoric" are "determined to take down Wal-Mart, a company they consider the nation's largest capitalistic oppressor of the proletariat." 

In response, Wal-Mart released the following statement:
 * Herman Cain is not a spokesperson for Wal-Mart. We understand that he has a long standing column and the views he expresses in that column are his own.  Wal-Mart is about creating jobs, providing affordable health care for our associates and saving money for working families.
